When one fails, can I see which one, and also, in which slot? Maybe the slot can be faulty as well?

Yes, the slot could also be faulty so it is important after testing all four together and if you find errors you will need to repeat the tests with individual modules until you find either the faulty RAM or slot. Unfortunately it is not possible to identify exactly which RAM is faulty when testing them all together.

I started the test. You're right... it's gonna take a loooong time... ;-)
Will there be a test log somewhere? I expect to have a rebooted windows in the morning...
forgive me my noobiness... left PC since the 1st pentium for Pro-Mac. Mac isn't pro anymore, so a switch is needed. Many will follow.

Thanx!

I did extensive testing with the memory. After testing all modules without errors, I went to the slots. Slot 3 gave an error on a module, and when I put in another in slot 3, all was normal again. Was about to pull out my hair, and just before smacking the whole thing 3 floors below on the street paves, I decided to strip the whole thing. Re-installing every single component, every single wire, making sure I had no bend pins on the Mobo, and while at it, removed the BIOS battery. After doing this carefully, and thoroughly, the system responds like it should again!!! The windows maintenance graph stays at 10, whilst fluctuating heavily earlier - even after 3 or 4 reinstalls.

Coming from Mac, this was a huge jump in the dark for me going through every single letter in the manual for re-assembling and re-wiring the PC. I'm astonished how troublesome on one side, but how flexible and customizable on the other side a PC can be.

I want to thank everyone for helping me getting on the right track, and starting to do thorough testing. Problem solved, no idea what the problem was, but finally I have something less to worry about.

Kindest regards!

I re-opened this old post since the problems started again, on a new windows install.

First of all, I memtested every single stick up to 8 passes in slot 1. No errors.
Then I tested all the sticks, up to 4 passes. No errors.

Then I did a stress-test with aida 64 for 2 hours. System stable, temperatures well within limits (maxed 76° or so)
I updated my realtek audio-driver, and installed the nvidia drivers from the nvidia official website.

After that, I started a furmark test to stress the GPU. After 15 minutes or so... bam, BSOD with the driver_irql_not_less_or_equal error...

Upon consulting the maintenance page I get this error in attachment. Could it be a PSU problem? The PSU always worked perfectly before I changed the MOBO's...

If you need other info from the logs, I'll be happy to provide it!
Any help very much appreciated!

Please update with a new zip file.
If possible please change the default language to English before using the DM log collector so that we can troubleshoot the logs using English search words.BSOD - Posting Instructions - Windows 10 Forums

1) The Nvidia video driver was previously uninstalled. It may be conflicting with other software or needs to be rolled back.
Uninstall all Nvidia drivers/softwareThe best way to do this is to uninstall everything of Nvidia using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from your Graphics card manufacturer or from the NVidia website.

2) Uninstall Usbhub3.sys
Click Start, and then click Run.In the Open box, type devmgmt.msc, and then click OK.
Device Manager opens.
Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.Note You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.Right-click the affected USB Root Hub, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB root hubs that you uninstalled.

I keep getting a BSOD reading IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL along with instances where my computer just locks up completely. It happens at random and I haven't been able to figure out what's causing it. If my computer doesn't lock up on startup or crashes...
